I did a little research and apparently that laptop uses the Intel HD Audio codec (same as my laptop). This chip doesn't work out of the box, but there are fixes out there.

I fixed it by installing "linux-backports-modules-generic" in Ubuntu. I'm not entirely sure if there is a package like that in SuSE, but you might end up having to install a newer version of the ALSA drivers.

Hi,

I had this problem on HP dv9700 (OpenSUSE 10.3, kernel: 2.6.22.17-0.1)
I download and install alsa-1.0.16 and alsa-lib-1.0.16 from alsa-project.org.

Good luck
